Summary/Abstract: The Saxon civilization becomes a factor of unique significance due to the guilds that turned medieval Braşov into an oasis of freedom and material welfare. The Saxon civilization functions as a catalysing element in the cultural, literary and spiritual development of the Romanians. The two nations co-existed, one bearing the stigmata of a minority, they lived in the same geographic area, but not together. However, the influences from the main culture to the one undergoing a process of sedimentation were of major importance.
